Everton are reportedly at the head of the queue for Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard.
The 28-year-old stayed with the Red Devils over the summer despite a host of speculation, but he has found it difficult to work his way into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first XI this term.
West Ham United and Newcastle United are both believed to be interested in signing the England international during the January transfer window.
However, according to Football Insider, Everton are leading the race for the playmaker, who would be keen to remain in the north-west if he left Old Trafford.
The report claims that the Toffees could sign Lingard on an initial loan deal until the end of the season, but there could be the option to make the move permanent next summer.
The Englishman's current deal with Solskjaer's side is due to expire next June, and he is allegedly reluctant to sign an extension while his position at the club is unclear.
